I could see these in Group 2!

Shades of the VW class days, wheeeere diiiid they go?

 

[unxetas]

these types of classes are by far the most popular back home, as far as I can tell (Portugal). I can see why they would be great fun (close racing, big fields) but when you can buy a spec miata for 10 grand or a pro3 for not a lot more, not sure splurging for a brand new race car (especially one that isn't particularly fast lolz..) will appeal to a lot of club racers around here?

 

[westipton]

You said it; expense and slow, so where is the appeal?

 

[Steve Adams]

Cheap-ish way to enter a National class? I can't imagine any other appeal than that.

Hey Steve, it's creepy the way your new avatar is staring at me like that.

 

[Steve Adams]

I know... it's like the eyes are following your movements.

 

[Ken Killam]

It's the teeth gnashing sneer.

 

[Steve Adams]

Ha! That ain't no sneer.
